Do younger men prefer an older woman? I am 42, but feel and look much younger. I am attracted to men in their early 30's...tell me what you think.

I think older women have a lot more to offer than younger ones.. more life experience, wisdom, maturity, confidence, and no silly games. Usually by that stage in life they aren't looking for someone to fool around with, they actually want to get serious, which is what I'm looking for.

I think we put to much into the age of the person instead of the person.. I was married to someone 5 yrs. older than me for along time.. He never wanted to do anything but watch tv and sit at home.. he wouldn't do anything with me and if I would do it with g/fs he would become jealous.. So, I am not to hung up on age. But who that person is.
I want someone who wants to live not sit and watch tv.

Some men do. It just depends on how the older woman carries herself. I had an older woman that I liked, butshe thought I was a kid.

I was, especially when I was in my early 30's b/c all the women I met at that age were desperate to have kids. The older women had already been thru that.

I think society can accept a younger man/older woman relationship much more than a younger woman/older man. Usually because the older man is looked on as a "dirty old man" if he dates a much younger woman.

I think it is extremely sensible for a woman to be with a man who is a few years younger. Feeling and looking younger aside, women's life expectancy is 5.3 years longer than that of men. Hooking up with men your own age means that, statistically speaking, you will be left alone in your old age for some five years, because he is going to die first. If you hook up for the duration with an older man, you will be alone in your last years that much longer. This thing with marrying men 15-20 years older is asking for 20 or more years of lonely grief (provided you actually loved the man) at an age (60+) when the odds of finding a new life partner would be stacked way against you.

Hooking up with a man about five or so years younger puts the odds in favor of you both handing in your dinner pails at about the same time, leaving no one sitting alone for the last few years of their lives.

I married a man who is almost six years younger than myself. His best friend married a woman who was eleven years older than him, and we have other friends who are in the same type of relationships. I think if a couple can communicate and have the same goals and interests then it doesn't matter about age. In fact, I think it is better for a woman to marry a younger man, men die earlier than women, so if she is married to someone younger she has a better chance of having her husband with her much longer in later years. If he were 5-10 years older than me, I would expect him to die and leave me alone.

Age is a number that is in your mind, not on a calendar, I say you go girl, have a great time and good luck finding the right guy for you!

I've never been attracted to younger men. I can understand the visual appeal, but somehow they just don't do anything for me.
